  • avoid losing code
  • versioning of previous projects
  • saving versions on db
  • sometimes there are problems with check-in and checkout if done simultaneously
  • the user interface is not really nice
  • only source control
Specific scenarios where this product works well are when: managing a large number of projects and you develop purely through visual studio, amount of the budget to evaluate similar but much more expensive products is not high, your company has developers that need a source code control and if you develop daily with a high frequency.
